Mitsotakis spreads message of support to diaspora Greeks

·

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis on Tuesday sent a message of support to all diaspora Greeks, giving extended sympathies to COVID-19 victims in the United States.

“We have won the first battle. And every day we are winning the second one. Through the government’s bold and swift decisions. Through the mobilisation of the state. And with the responsible behaviour of all citizens, in cities and villages,” he underlined, adding that his thoughts are with the Greeks, wherever they may be, and especially with those living in the USA.

The coronavirus death toll in the United States has surpassed 10,000 and infections have risen to nearly 400,000.

“In these difficult hours, my thoughts also go out to our brothers and sisters beyond our borders, to Greeks wherever they may be – and especially in the United States and in New York.”

Mitsotakis has called on Greeks abroad to abide by social distancing and sanitation measures, which has been proven to contain the spread of the deadly virus.

“The experience in our country shows that calmness and solidarity bring results. So stay home, taking care of your personal hygiene and those who are most vulnerable. And stay next to each other. Our Embassy and Consulates will always be open to you. The organisations and our Church are a stable network of contribution and mutual aid,” he underlined.

The prime minister also urged Greeks abroad to contact their relatives and familiarise themselves with the new platform: greecefromhome.com.

“We will succeed,” he said, adding: “With responsibility and discipline, the ordeal of the pandemic will soon be over. And we must be healthy and with as few losses as possible. To meet again, united and strong, in the summer, at home.”
